THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER

As young boys, both Jacques Rebière and Thomas Midwinter become fascinated with trying to understand the human mind. As psychiatrists, their quest takes them from the squalor of the Victorian lunatic asylum to the crowded lecture halls of the renowned Professor Charcot in Paris; from the heights of the Sierra Madre in California to the plains of unexplored Africa.

As the concerns of the old century fade and the First World War divides Europe, the two men's volatile relationship develops and changes, but is always tempered by one exceptional woman; Thomas's sister Sonia.

Recensioni della critica

A fascinating and insightful read. (Natasha Usher)
An extraordinary novel of magnificent scope
Faulks is beyond doubt a master
His most ambitious novel yet... Love, loyalty, courage, compassion, goodness...these are the poles around which his always skilful storytelling revolves
Shocking and enlightening...touching and affecting
He is the best novelist of his generation
An epic of a novel...in some ways better than Birdsong, or at least more subtle and far ranging
This is a bold and remarkable work of imagination, particularly in its daring remastery of the 19th-century novel form and the sustained grace of its prose. To write so well for so many hundreds of pages is an amazing feat of intellectual athleticism (Jane Shilling)
Faulks has woven dozens of compelling voices together to produce an extraordinary novel of magnificent scope (Jonathan Ree)
[S]tructurally intricate, yet intensely focused on the lives of individuals...Human Traces is replete with interesting ideas and contains some exceptionally fine topographic writing (Jane Stevenson)
